Open Space | Berlin Exhibition at the Humboldt Forum

due to an internal event
You’re allowed to check in up to 30 kg of free luggage at the airport – one full suitcase for a new life in a new country. But what happens when your things, your language, even your own identity take on different meanings upon arrival?
As transcultural women, they renegotiate everyday life – a liberation for some, for others a loss.
Through the installation, the group invites visitors to consider their own identity. The project also draws a parallel to the 1920s, when independent women from Turkey migrated to Berlin and had to redefine themselves, just as they do today.
Exhibition
